May's job gains were revised down to 19,000 from 144,000, while June's additions were cut to just 14,000 from the 147,000 initially reported. In its release on Friday, the BLS said these revisions, "result from additional reports received from businesses and government agencies since the last published estimates and from the recalculation of seasonal factors."

"The 'solid' state of the labor market described by the FOMC earlier this week looks more questionable after the July employment report," Wells Fargo senior economists Sarah House wrote in a note Friday. Job gains over the last three months have now averaged just 35,000 after Friday's revisions. This is breaking news, more to come...
